After a recent knee surgery I went about looking for an affordable recumbent bike and settled on this model due to its price and (hopefully honest) great reviews.
Reviews are correct! It's a quality product and would buy this again.
The Good:
Solid and heavy
-Thick steel tubing, quality feel, nice coating
-Comfortable seat and back support (wife with back trouble loves it!)
-Easy seat adjustment
-Very simple display unit included, the downloadable app and Bluetooth can give more data if you want
-The display has a cell phone holder
-It is packaged like you could drop it from a plane, if you are trying to save the box it can be a challenge to unpack alone. Very good job designing it.
-Truly whisper quiet, remarkable so
The Bad:
-The bike itself is made with strong, quality steel, the screw set from much softer, cheaper metal. So be careful to use the included allen wrench or the exact size (standard/metric)if you are using your own.
-The directions are small on the page and a little fuzzy. It can take a few re-reads and the hardware set is packaged pretty badly, it's hard to open one step and not have the next step fall out. It's minor, just pay attention.
-Team work makes the dream work; a 2 person assembly will make this pretty quick and painless. It is also a little over 100 pounds delivered, so be ready.
All-in-all a 98/100. My display had some minor scuffs on the plastic face and the mentioned hardware were my only complaints.
Believe the excellent reviews.
